Wow, 64-bit only. Didn't think we'd be seeing a game require that for a few years.

Games being restricted to 2 GB of memory was limiting things. Kinda sad, though, because I don't have enough money to build a new gaming PC this year, and I probably won't next year.

No, it's an i7-920, but the video card (GTX 285) is starting to show its age.

You just got archville non sequitur'd like a motherfucker. Seen it a million times.

My system has 6 GB, and pretty soon, that'll get close to not being enough RAM.

It's starting to shift.

2001 - Microsoft releases Windows XP 64-Bit Edition
2014 - games are 64-bit.
That was fast!-
1961 - IBM releases the 7030 Stretch 64-bit computer
1990 - SGI releases the IRIS Crimson 64-bit workstation
1993 - Everyone makes fun of Jurassic Park for showing a real IRIS Crimson running the real fsn program
1994 - SGI releases the Crimson Jurassic Classic -

Better than normal XP...not that that took much.

Especially since Windows XP 64-Bit Edition that came out in 2001 was only available on Itanium processors. It wasn't until 2005 or so that Windows XP Professional 64-Bit that ran on X86-64 processors was available.

consoles being 8gb RAM surely is a factor
-
-
Well, the day has come...finally a game that my system doesn't even meet minimum requirements for. I have the exact AMD processor they mention, but only 4 GB RAM. Guess this will be the excuse I finally need to upgrade to a PS4.
-
Are they counting hyperthreading on that 3770? I thought those were 4 core.
-
Yes x2.
-
I'm pretty sure ever Core i series processor is hyperthreading.
-
oh, nevermind, I misread the post.

Its going to be interesting how my PC handles this one. All are at/above recommended except for CPU, mine being an i5 2500k.

What. The. Hell?
Go look at the game on steam. The page just went up, (or was just re-upped) and they're using the same screenshots to promote the game as they were before original launch.
By the way, did anyone else catch the throwaway line, "thanks to our powerful all new advanced graphics engine... " in the last trailer they put out.
I might even be convinced that the game looks truly amazing in person, but they're just acting like nothing ever changed. They should be called out hard by the "games media" BEFORE the game launches for bullshots, not after everyone has rushed out and bought it. -
If thats the case it should look like the bullshot demo they showed to everyone.
